The former Chelsea and England captain says he changed his technique from the spot prior to a painful defeat in Moscow 12 years ago
Ex-Chelsea defender John Terry has revealed that he practised Panenkas in training for two weeks before slipping during a Champions League final penalty shoot-out defeat to Manchester United in 2008.
The two Premier League teams met in an all-English showpiece at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow after seeing off Barcelona and Liverpool respectively in the semi-finals.
A Cristiano Ronaldo header gave United a first-half lead, but Frank Lampard levelled the scores just before the interval. Neither side could find a winning goal in the second period or in another 30 minutes of added time, and penalties were ultimately needed to decide who lifted the most famous trophy in European football.
